Delay import by TomAugspurger · Pull Request #17710 · pandas-dev/pandas (original) (raw)

Closes #16764

Improves performance by delaying the import of matplotlib, s3fs, pytest, and openpyxl.

Also removes our old MPL style sheet. The option was deprecated and removed, but the stylesheet hung around.

I can shave off more by hardcoding pandas.__version__. Maybe that's worthwhile for releases?
